Uncovering half the truth

Thomas wakes up.

"Thomas are you awake." Said his mom

"Yes."

"Come down stairs." Said his mom

Thomas walked down the stairs.

"Kara wants to talk with you." Said his mom

"Ok where is she?"

"Outside." Said his mom

Thomas opens the door and he sees Kara.

"You want to talk to me."

"Yeah follow me."

"Where we going ."

"To the diner.”

"Ok."

They walked into the dinner, sat down and the waitress took their order.

"So Thomas the thing we talked about last night.”

"Yea."

"I told someone."

"What?"Said in scream/whisper

"Don't worry I trust this person and he is a scientist."

"I don't care what he is or if you trust him. I told you not to tell anyone."

"I'm sorry, but I needed someone to know in order to help you."

"I don't need help. I just needed someone to tell who I trusted, but I guess I can't trust you."

"I'm sorry, ok, but he wants to meet you."

"Ok, but this is the only time and if something happens to me. I want you to know that it's all your fault."

The both of them are walking side by side until they got to the doctors/scientists house. Kara stepped in front of Thomas and knocked on the door of the doctors. He opened the door and he welcomed them inside.

"Do y'all want something to drink or eat?”

"No, we're good." Said Kara

"So, What do you want from me.” Said Thomas

"I want to see the place the zombie bit you, to take a sample of your blood and to test your physical.”

“Physical?”

“Physical like your strength or eye sight to see if anything has changed.”

“Oh ok, I will let you, but at one condition."

"What is it."

"I will give you my blood every time I come over, but you do not get to keep it with you when I leave. When you have found everything you need I will destroy the blood sample. We will not have anything to do with one another ever again, do you understand me.

"Yes."

"Ok let's begin shall we."

"Yeah, come with me down to my basement."

"What is down there?"

"My laboratory."

"Also, Kara can not come with us."

Said Thomas

"Ok, but why?"

"Cause."

Kara looked at Thomas with a sorry face, but a bitch please face. Then the doctor and Thomas walked down the stairs into the basement.

"Sir, I never asked you your name."

"Oh, it's Peter."

"Oh."

"Shall we get started then."

"No, I want to to ask you a question that I couldn't ask around Kara."

"Do I know you."

"Yeah you probably seen me on tv, I'm in the top 15 best scientists in the America."

"You know what I mean."

"Will since it's the end of the world, I should gone head and tell you, first in order to get the story I have to tell you the background. So in 2000, the government decided to take part in an experiment that was happening all around the world. At the time I didn't know what the experiment was, but I did know it involves people. We  were told not to ask questions in more of the work we were given. We were told that we were working on a cure that could stop people from getting diseases from things like the air or from slaver. I was in charge of one of the chemicals that was used in order to make the cure. I had to mix and make the chemical in order for it to be sent to the next lab. The scientists that were chosen were not allowed to look at the official cure, we were just in charge of one thing, then other people would put it together. One day I was allowed access to the other wing that puts the cure together and when I was there I look at the official cure in a microscope and it wasn't a cure at all. It was something that I have never seen before in my life and I know that these would cause devastation to the world. I planned to tell the world about what I saw, but I know no one would believe so I needed proof. Later that day I was still in the wing, they had chosen me to know the secret and I was wheeling to listen. The only thing they told me the first day was that they were experimenting on kids in order for the kids to grow up with the "cure" inside them. Three months after that I was still not told anything because they didn't trust me yet and doing that time I planned to take a child to a powerful man who said he could help me achieve exposing the government. The kid I decided to take was you, Thomas. I made it out of the lab with you hiding in my backpack and you didn't make a sound at all. Will it turns out I played right into their hands because they knew what I was planning and when I made it to the man. I was captured and disposed of."

"Disposed of meaning."

"They shot me in the head, but I survived, I don't know how or why but when I can to I was by myself and you were gone. I decided to go into hiding because they thought I was dead and five months after that the zombie breakout occurred."

"So what did they do to me."

"I don't know."

"Wait you said kids meaning there were more."

"Yeah."

"How many."

"6."

"So that means that there are more of them out there like me."

"I don't know because I was told that not every baby survived the experiment, they just wanted 6 babies able to possess whatever you possess."

"So you're talking me you want to use me a a lab rat in order to figure out what's wrong with me."

"Yeah if you don't mind."

"I want to believe you, but at the same time I don't. *But as he said that a voice in is head the same voice came about and told him to trust Peter.* I will give you my blood and some of the physical tests you want me to take

"Why did you change your mind?"

"I just did now be happy and stop asking questions."

Peter took Thomas blood sample and took some physical test, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary and then Peter asked to see Thomas hand where he was bitten. Nothing was there and Peter put it up close to a magnifying glass and he still found no trace of the bit.

"Thomas for all I can tell you are still human in every was, but I want you to come back tomorrow in case I found something new come around 5 pm and bring Kara with you."

"Why do I have to bring her."

"Peter you might be mad that she told me, but she is the second person you can trust with your life. I want you to bring her and that final."

"Okay Mr. bossy pants."

"Now go home with your family."

Peter came home and ate dinner with his family.

"So where did you and Kara go."

"We just want out that's all nothing special really."

"If you say so."

"Mom we're nit dating ok."

"If you say so."

"You play to much you know that."

"If you say so."

"Stop I'm done with you, so Mane how as your day been.”

“It’s been good I got a girlfriend.”

“Since when.”

“Since yesterday.”

“Did you know about this mom.”

“Yep and guess who it is?”

“Who?”

“Sara.”

“You mean the girl who lived in front of us.”

“Yep.”

“Bro, how did you get her?”

“I don’t know I just did.”

Thomas and his family ate and had a lot of fun that night. Thomas went to bed and he woke up at 6:30 in the morning. He was up before his family was so he decided to take a little walk and guess who he saw, Kara. He walked up to her.

“So hey.”

“Hey I just want to say I’m sorry that I told Peter.”

“No it’s fine I know that I can trust him now and he told me a lot of new information. I just want to ask you do you want to come to his lab with me today.”

“So does that mean you trust me again.”

“A little, but I just need you to come with me and later on I can see if I can trust you.”

“Okay I’ll take that.”

“So what you doing up so early.” Said Kara

“I couldn’t sleep so I just decided to take a walk.”

“Me too.”

They talked for a while and then they walked back to there own house. When Thomas got back his mom was awake making breakfast and he told her that could she walk him up at 4:00 pm and she said yea. That time came and his mom woke him up.

“So where do you have to go.”

“With kara.”

“Are y’all dating.”

“No mom she’s my leader.”

“Just asking because y’all spend a lot of time together.”

“Mom that’s because she my leader my boss. So have have to follow orders when she tells me to help with things.”

“Ok if you say so, but are you hungry.”

“No I’m fine. *kiss his mom on the cheek.* Talk to you later.”

“Love you.”

“Love you too.”

“What time you going to be home.”

“Late.”

“How late.”

“Really late.”

“Bye bye.”

“Byeeee.”

Thomas mets Kara close to Peter’s lab and they walk in together.

“Finally you two are here I have something to tell you both.”

“Dr. Peter have you been to sleep at all.” Said Kara

“No I had to stay up in case I found something new and I did.”

“So what is it.” Said Thomas

“Thomas your cells and everything in your body is the same as a humans except for one thing. There is a cell in your body that could change everything literally. If that cell that is different activates that one cell would spread to the other cells, but in this case it would not spread it would destroy those cells and make cells that are like the one that is different.”

“Let me guess in order to activate the cell I have to die.”

“Bingo.”

“So what happens if I die.”

“That’s it I don’t know. When something like this happens you can sometimes tell what is going on, but in your case everything is unpredictable.”

“So basically if I die I might turn into a zombie or I might be something that is different the. a zombie.”

“I would think so.” Said Peter

“So you talking me that he is in danger.” Said Kara

“Yes because if he gets hurt and dies it could be very bad for humanity will what’s left of us.”

“Thomas as of now you are off gatherer duty.”

“What? No.”

“Yes I am your leader the one in command and I command you to stand done.”

“Yes, ma’am, so what do I do now.”

“We will found you something, something that doesn’t require you to get hurt.”

“Like what?”

“Working at the grocery store.”

“What? No.”

“Yes let’s go now and thank you Peter for telling us.”

“No problem.”

“Now go get some rest.”

“I can’t unless I found something else that can be useful.”

“Really Peter.”

“Yes now you go.”

“Okay bye.”

“Bye.”

Thomas and Kara walked to the grocery store and Thomas was able to get a place and his work would began tomorrow. Walking back Kara and Thomas begins to have a deep conversation about the things that Thomas is going though.

“Thomas it’s going to be ok everything will work out.”

“How do you know that Kara because I’m literally a walking time bomb. I’m going crazy the voice in my head is getting louder and louder every single day and it has gotten to the point where I just wan to scream and not stop.”

“Why didn’t you tell me.”

“How could I, you were trying to help me how could I tell you that I was getting worse instead of better.” He said this while crying.

“It doesn’t matter if I was trying to help you if you don’t tell me something like this. In order for me to help you I have to know everything ok.”

“Ok I will I’m sorry.” Said while crying

“No don’t cry it’s not your fault it’s mine for not asking and you don’t have to apologize to me I should be the one apologizing. I’m sorry Thomas it’s ok.” Said while crying

Kara and Thomas just sat there and cried the whole night and Thomas ended up falling asleep, so Kara had to carry him home. The next morning Thomas walks up hungry and eyes swoll.
